Well, that is the wrong definition, and the wrong link
That is the correct parameter list and ilnk for ConvertSidToStringSid

BOOL ConvertStringSidToSid( LPCTSTR StringSid, PSID* Sid );

	char * StringSid = "Whatever the string sid looks like";
	SID* Sid;
	if( ConvertStringSidToSid( StringSid, &Sid ) )
	{	// use *Sid
		char * StringSid2;
		if( ConvertSidToStringSid( Sid,  &StringSid2 ) )
		{	// display StyringSid2
			LocalFree( StringSid2 );
		};
		LocalFree( *Sid );
	};
